Cookies! (Oatmeal Raisin and Chocolate Chip)

Mine has been pretty good but I’m a little sad because from now on the sun will not set after 8 pm. It seems way too soon to be getting dark earlier! Or it’s because we’re in Wisconsin, I think I’ll blame Wisconsin. ;)

But I’ve been enjoying some pretty delicious cookies to make up for the closing of summer and the start of fall. This weekend I tried Gimme Some Oven’s Chocolate Chip Cookies made with coconut oil. The coconut oil replaces the butter or vegetable oil in the recipe so it’s a slightly healthier cookie or at least that’s what I’m telling myself.

The other batch of cookies I made were Mike’s favorite: Oatmeal Raisin. I’m more of a chocolate chip girl but Mike LOVES oatmeal raisin cookies. Since I love the chocolate chips more than raisins in cookies that’s why I usually bake oatmeal chocolate chip because it’s best of both worlds then. I used my Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Chip cookie recipe and just swapped the chips for raisins.
